We study algebraic structure of the $\lambda$-polycyclic monoid $P_{\lambda}$ and its topologizations. We show that the $\lambda$-polycyclic monoid for an infinite cardinal $\lambda\geqslant 2$ has similar algebraic properties so has the…

We prove that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological bicyclic semigroup with adjoined zero $\mathscr{C}^0$ is either compact or discrete. Also we show that the similar statement holds for a locally compact semitopological bicyclic…

A topology $\tau$ on a monoid $S$ is called {\em shift-continuous} if for every $a,b\in S$ the two-sided shift $S\to S$, $x\mapsto axb$, is continuous. For every ordinal $\alpha\le \omega$, we describe all shift-continuous locally compact…

We give sufficient conditions when a topological inverse $\lambda$-polycyclic monoid $P_{\lambda}$ is absolutely $H$-closed in the class of topological inverse semigroups. Also, for every infinite cardinal $\lambda$ we construct the…

In this paper we consider a semitopological $\alpha$-bicyclic monoid $\mathcal{B}_{\alpha}$ and prove that it is algebraically isomorphic to a semigroup of all order isomorphisms between the principal upper sets of the ordinal…

Let $\mathscr{C}_\mathbb{N}$ be a monoid which is generated by the partial shift $\alpha\colon n\mapsto n+1$ of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ and its inverse partial shift $\beta\colon n+1\mapsto n$. In this paper we prove that…

We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse $\omega$-semigroups with compact maximal subgroups. In particular, we show that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse…

An elementary proof is given for the fact that every locally compact subsemigroup of a compact topological group is a closed subgroup. A sample consequence is that every commutative cancellative pseudocompact locally compact Hausdorff…

We find anti-isomorphic submonoids $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(a,b)$ of the bicyclic monoid $\mathscr{C}(a,b)$ with the following properties: every Hausdorff left-continuous (right-continuous) topology on…

We show that if a subsemigroup $S$ of the bicyclic monoid ${\mathscr{C}}(p,q)$ contains infinitely many idempotents then $S$ admits only the discrete Hausdorff shift-continuous topology. Also we proof that every right-continuous…

In this paper we consider McAlister semigroups over arbitrary cardinals and investigate their algebraic and topological properties. We show that the group of automorphisms of a McAlister semigroup $\mathcal{M}_{\lambda}$ is isomorphic to…

In this paper we investigate locally compact semitopological graph inverse semigroups. Our main result is the following: if a directed graph $E$ is strongly connected and contains a finite amount of vertices then a locally compact…

Let $n$ be any positive integer and $\mathscr{I\!P\!F}(\mathbb{N}^n)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the $n$-th power of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ with the product order. We prove…

We investigate closed subsets (subsemigroups, resp.) of compact-like topological spaces (semigroups, resp.). We prove that each Hausdorff topological space can be embedded as a closed subspace into an H-closed topological space. However,…

Every transformation monoid comes equipped with a canonical topology-the topology of pointwise convergence. For some structures, the topology of the endomorphism monoid can be reconstructed from its underlying abstract monoid. This…

Transformation monoids carry a canonical topology --- the topology of point-wise convergence. A closed transformation monoid $\mathfrak{M}$ is said to have automatic homeomorphicity with respect to a class $\mathcal{K}$ of structures, if…

In this paper we show that polycyclic monoids are universal objects in the class of graph inverse semigroups. In particular, we prove that a graph inverse semigroup $G(E)$ over a directed graph $E$ embeds into the polycyclic monoid…
